Frequently Asked Questions
Should I take an MCAT Prep Course?
Yes! An MCAT prep course is an investment in your future. If you’re willing to put in time and money now, it may mean the difference between getting accepted to medical school and needing to retest and reapply. Kaplan prep courses do more than review content and teach you the structure of the MCAT; our expert teachers have developed score-boosting MCAT strategies and gathered a huge arsenal of practice materials to help you be comfortable on test day and hit your score goal.
When should I take an MCAT Prep Course?
Our experts recommend that the average pre-med student spend between 300 and 350 hours over several months preparing for the MCAT. By creating a personal study schedule that spans six months, you will give yourself enough time to focus on any areas of need that may arise between now and your MCAT test day. While six months may seem like quite a lot of time, by avoiding procrastination you will put yourself in the best position to meet your MCAT score goal.

There's a new way to stand out in the medical school admissions process.
* 15 point average only applied to students who completed 5,300+ practice questions and 600+ study activities during their program. A recent study conducted by Kaplan showed that students who completed a minimum of this work saw an average score improvement of 15 points from their first to their highest practice exam. Students who started with lower scores saw greater increases. Students who completed fewer practice questions, study activities, or who did not engage in the full program, saw lower score increases.
